Why not sell them to yourself at a 10% loss and make an extra 35%? Did Milo not teach you ANYTHING?

$50 k in a 1400 ft ranch in materials? doesn't sound like the spec home market, least not here in Oklahoma. Even Lowes and HD quote framing packages @$15 a ft here.

I'd like to hear about the "own lumberyard" angle. Where do you buy your lumber from? Or is it your sawmill? Humm.
